The Pistons are still trying to climb the Eastern Conference standings, hoping that they can make the playoffs this season. Adding Ellington will allow them to have a reliable 3-point shooter that can come off the bench.

Opponents will be cautious to leave him open from beyond the arc, as he’s shooting 36 percent from that area this season.

Another team that’s expected to make a push at signing Ellington is the Los Angeles Lakers, a team looking for decent 3-point shooters with expiring contracts.

Just like the Pistons, the Lakers are currently out of the playoff race in the West, but is expected to make a strong push with the help of LeBron James.

It is unclear if Ellington would like to be with teams that aren’t guaranteed to make the playoffs, but no matter where he goes, he is expected to be an integral part of that team’s postseason run.

Expect more teams to show interest in him once he is officially bought out by the Suns.
